LADIES ENTERTAINMENT SUCCESS
Xeurly $200 Raised As Starter For
Free Library Fund. Entertain
ment First Class.
riei minstrel show liiven tinoer the
iiispices of the Woman's Club IiiBt
Friday evening tor the purposes of
startlu a public library fund tor the
city of Hood River, was a success
from all s midpoints, el lie, liislmiivil
Ktid social, t'ho exceeding worthy ob
ject which prompted this delightful
HUtettsluineot, and which inspired
Hood River's loading business men
to contribute, their talent aud labor
in hi ettort to have the club realize its
imbitloo, was fully appreciated by
the best element ot ultienship. And
the Opera House could nut nearly
accomodate tiio srowd that suuKht ad
inleitoo at the advauoed p-ices aslced,
many being tutned away. Urerjl.Ho
ivas ni tied from the entertainment,
aud when, iu the fotuta, Hood liiverV
public library becomes a reality all
will reinembei the genial spirit which
prevailed the Opera House on this
occasion, when the songs and min
strel jokes ot our business men and
the dancing of our childron brought
smiles and laughter, while the ingen
uity and executive ability of th club
women brought dollars from the pock
eta ot ti large aud representative audi
ence. With every dollar put into a good
book, the future good this modest
amount ot aioaey may itccomplish
cauiiut be estimated.
With lriiman liutler as the digni
fied interlocutor, the group ot Muck
ItOsjd commedians who essayed the
role of minstrels made an loitsOt hit
with the audience. Arthur Clarke
and Clay Brook, Hev. J. V. Untidy
and A. L. l'erry proved very clever
etnl men, and the CltiUO who escaped
their jikiug sarcasm was lucky.
Kven lrumau Butler'l heud was al
leged to bo bald, much to that gentle
man's discomforture, aud lie Com
DtercUl Club whs given a good sliak
iug up ab. mt its proposed new build
ing. Dan Bbaonon was tickled a bit
with the minstrel feather, and the
local merchants also got their uiedl
cine, especially the druggists, lhe
singing was especially well received,
excellent solo work being dODI bj
I'aul Hubbard, Charles Clarke, Clay
Drook, Arthur Clarke, J. V. I!andy,
A. L, Feny, Ulen lilllete and Lou

ed o( Messrs. Krwiu I'm kins, Kobt.
Fergo, JOruest Kiukuid mid A. K

tbe first aud seaoud pints of the show,
and the vocal quartette formed by
Metors. Lou Dai laud, Chits Clarke,
I'aui ilubbard ami A it Inn Cltrkv war
recalled many times.
What proved ouo of the most pleas
ing teat in oh of the eveuiug was the
children's dancing under the personal
direction of Frof. lieggs. This nor
tiou of the entertainment was under
the supervision of Mrs. J. A. Imping
aud .Mrs. Del. Rand, Who arranged
and executed the program moit sue
oesifnlly Opening with a comt
minuet by four couples in Colonial
Oostume, the childreti soon proved
themselves formidable rivals of their
black faced competitors. iu this
mil t were dancing Katharine liakor
and Thurston Laraway, Elizabeth lip
ping ami Harold Ingles, Mildred Hoi'
lay and (icorge noteholder, F.li.aheth
Hadiuy and doe Williams. Ihe Dutch
dance was one ot the iiiaintest con
ceits of the performance, and was well
executed by Lorraine Allen, Malcomb
llutlon, Frances Custuet, Allen Hut
tun, Hiizunuo Kay, Basil Williams,
l.lda Jackson and Clou Hunt.
In the Oxford, little lieryl Clarke
and Newton Clarke uimply lit ought
down the house with their cunning
steps and naive abandon. Little Miss
Mary Whitehead proved perhaps the
most graceful and agile dancer iu the
Hit i irate sword dunce, whil I the skirt
dancing of Katharine I taker wus heart
ily etioorad us it deserved. 1'rof.
lieggs bus accomplished wonders with
these young ohildren, aud TeipsF
chore run well be proud of such do
votes. Ilotweeu those dauces Miss
Davis sang 'The Dummy Shirtwaist
Hill," her characteristic rendition
and sweet voice being much admired,
while she personally looked a model
which iiuy linn might envy.
Mrs. Laura Jiat.cbolder, the net
president of lie Women's Club, states
that tic building up of the lihraiy
fund started by tins eiiturtsiniuent
will bo the chief work of the club this
coming year, and that the personal
co-operation of every man, woman
and chll l iu Hood Rivei Is delsred,
as it will be au institution for the
good of the public at large "A city
id the si.o and Intellectuality of
Hood River should certainly support
a fiee Hbren" she stated to
tbe Olucnr, "and while this start
n ay he considered small, it Is nevei
tb . -- a stmt and the Women's Club
intends bending every effort to the
glow Ih of the fund It should luter
ot etety citizen of the town, aud
Judging tiom tha royal auppurt aiven
he cause at its inception, we believe
it will grow to success in a shorter
period than we have dared to antici
pate, lhe educational f -htures of a
tree aCtrcaletlng library cannot te
i leiestiinutfld and the day has arrived
when UOOd River should ruuk with
communities which consider such In
stitutions a necessity to the public
good."
The minstrel progratne of Hih CluL
ntertsionient was prepared by Arthur
Clarke, and all credit is due to his
export management. The ilute of the
psrlormenne was announced before
the ii heatsals began, and to put on
such a smooth per ormanne with
parties who had never worked togeth
er before is a feat worthy of a pio
feeelonel theatrical manager. lhe
